And what are we to think of Bill Clinton lamenting the movie’s supposed deviation from the “truth”, or Sandy Berger’s concern about protocols, or Madeline Albright’s apparent charge of partisanship, this from a former Secretary of State who has traveled the globe plugging her book by faulting her successors to foreign media in a time of war.

The Ambassador to Yemen was so infuriating yet so real to me, an escapee from the bureaucracy. Thinking back to the time of the Cole bombing there was so little feedback. I think in that era Clinton wanted to downplay not only terror attacks, but the suffering of the victims because it woould put him on the spot to do something. A friend did a contract job for the DEA during Clinton. He said people told him everyone who could retire or get out was doing it. They had made real headway on drugs and it was all being stalled under Clinton. Total demoralization. Powerful I hope they rerun it when I can see the first half.

We may be fighting this war for many years, and his generation unfortunately might have to inherit this war from us. I want him to know who the enemy is before some bedwetting appeasenik "educator" gets a hold of him. I've been sort of in a daze since Monday. I cannot stop thinking of those poor people who lost their lives that day. I have been trying to read as much as I can about how it happened, and reading biographies of our fellow citizens (and foreign friends living here) who died that day. I have never been the same since that day. And I refuse to let a few nutters shake my resolve. This enemy must be defeated. Yes, I am happy I decided to watch it.

The Clinton people would still have needed to blame someone else and he would have been the one since there wouldn't have been a Republican to blame.

I think the libs are pissed because they know most Americans formulate they opinions based on what they see on TV and this time they saw quite literally the path to 9/11 instead of the nightly doses of liberal MSM bias against the Bush administration. I hope ABC puts the entire thing on a CD for distribution. But I do have one criticism, could they have found an older person to cast in the role of Dick Cheney? How old was that guy ... 80? ;) I didn’t cry, I was too pissed off to shed tears!!

The "Truth"ers all look like as bunch of liberal arts majors, if they went to school at all. (No offense to those that are liberal arts majors or didn't go to school...) but to make allegations that 9-11 was "engineered" they must have some new information about gravity, the melting(or bending) point of steel, and science in general. I'd LOVE to read their evidence and error-check their calculations, assumptions, coefficients, etc. WHy the Dems were so outraged is beyond me. All the film really showed is that we've let lawyers dictate our wars. One of the terrorists said "if we kill enough Americans, eventually they'll change their policies" probably referring to our support of Israel. I agree, but I think it will mean <strong>eventually we'll change our policies of giving the enemies of our country equal rights as civillians.</strong> The outrage and Stalinist tactics of the Left speak VOLUMES about where their priorities lie.
